not recognised automagically.
Run
Replace X & Y with the values you want.
This will produce something like
| Code: |
# 1440x900 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.30MA) hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz
Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
|
Then add a new mode using xrandr
| Code: |
xrandr --newmode big 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934
|
Replace big with what ever you want and the numbers to that of the output of cvt
Now add the the mode to your output.
| Code: | | xrandr --addmode VGA-1 big |
VGA-1 might be different, type xrandr --output and then press tab twice and you will get a list of outputs
Now make that output use the mode
| Code: | | xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode big |
With a bit of voodoo chanting you should now have the new resolution.
Note that this is a quick and dirty way of changing to a custom resolution, and after a reboot the resolution will go back to the old one.
If you screw up just reboot and the resolution should go back to normal.
